Make Stretch work on hatches

[AaronEllsworth]

I think this is a bug in AutoCAD that desperately needs fixing.  The stretch command should work on hatches.  Right now if the hatches are non-associative (and MANY of ours are) they get left behind by a stretch command and then have to be manually updated.

AutoCAD has always not stretched non-associative hatches. If it stretched a non-associative hatch at all that would make it partially associative.

1. I agree that Acad has NEVER "stretched" a hatch (although in relatively recent versions, you can grip edit the hatch to change its shape).  But I could understand the benefit of such a feature request.  However, although Autodesk employees do (sometimes) visit these forums, they're mostly monitored by volunteers and thus there's a good chance AD will not even see this. Feature requests can be posted at the following address.

2. A hatch object is esentially a closed shape that has been filled in.  As such, I beleive that the dev team COULD enable stretching a hatch object.  It would work very similar to stretching a closed polyline.

AutoCAD used to stretch hatch entities;  AutoCAD R14 does (version before AC2000)

I still use r14 as my preferred version.  Newer versions are just laiden with garbage features that slow down productivity.  Launching r14 takes less than 1 second also.

First reassociate the hatch(es) using the Properties floating window.
